  • lol it says this video is private now

  • I have adblock, what ads do you speak of?

  • @meshuggahismylife, can't argue with that.

  • if they have teleportation than why bother flying around in a ship?

  • @SprPwdSxMch Because the range is limited to a few miles, not a few light-years. And plus, who doesn't want to be in a giant spaceship that would've made Carl Sagan shit bricks?

  • @SprPwdSxMch Because the Transporter can only send and recieve up to 1000 kilometers.

  • @46:57 the tombstone reads James "R" Kirk. The "R" stands for tibeRius I guess.

  • I have all three box sets of the original series in the new digital remastered versions. For the fans who havent seen it yet ,its amazing! True to the original but it looks like it was made today! A must see....

  • Mitchell's omnipotence doesn't extend to Kirk's name. And Spock seems reticent to admit that the "ancestor" who married a human female was his DAD, sheesh. Nice to see that the mythos was still nascent at this point.

  • @ 50 min is this barry O ? LOL

  • 08:33 -- Leaked! Default background for Mac OS X 10.7!

  • Anyone notice Kirk's tombstone reads "James R. Kirk" rather than James T?

  • @cactusjoerock Noticed that way back in the day!! I'm so glad someone else did too!

  • This was actually the second pilot sent to the network, which was done in early 1966. This pilot did not actually air until September 22, 1966, as the third episode of the series. The first Pilot was called The Cage, with Jeffrey Hunter, and it was rejected in early 1965 and then reworked as a two part episode that appeared in November of 1966, and was called The Menagerie. The original version of The Cage was not seen till 1986. The actual first ST episode was The Man Trap, Sept 8th 1966.

  • Awesome, commercial and now ad-free star trek! Ctrl-F5, refresh, and/or 'adblock plus' does the trick.

  • 47:00 "James R Kirk"? I thought he was always James T Kirk? Goofup?

  • @dwain1771 The show was still fleshing itself out. A lot of the ST universe hadn't been established. Notice how relatively emotional Spock still is.

  • The Orignal "HOT LIPS"

  • Wow this is at the beginning of the series. The gold shirts all look the same.

  • LOVE the elevator music

  • Blonde lab technician he almost married . . . I think we've just found Dr. Carole Marcus.

  • As for Kirk's middle name (or initial), no one as yet had written the episode where it was firmly established as "Tiberius". And we never know what happened to "Yeoman Smith" {Andrea Dromm} or "Dr. Piper" {Paul Fix} after this episode, either. Continuity is practiced only by the diligent.

    The original unaired version of this episode is VERY different from this one....

  • ...aka "Roddenberry's Second Chance". NBC asked him to produce a second pilot after they rejected "The Cage" in February 1965. This is what he came up with; when the network saw it in February 1966, they ordered a series to go with it. Most of the props and costumes were reworked from the first pilot episode (hence, crew women in trousers). Gary Lockwood and Sally Kellerman had previously co-starred in the last "KRAFT SUSPENSE THEATER" episode, "Connery's Hands" {July 1, 1965}.

  • I have a question for any real trekkie out there. Are all the original star trek episodes posted on YouTube? It seems when I watched this series as a kid, the Enterprise was always firing it's phasers or photon torpedos at Klingons, or Romulans, but especially Klingons. I haven't seen hardly any episodes here where the Enterprise destroys a Klingon Battle Cruiser, with Kirk talking to Tau on the view screen, as a Klingon ship disintegrates.

  • @clintonearlwalker 72 of the 79 episodes are on youtube

  • @Eversio13 Thanx for that. I bet in the other 7 episodes the Klingons are getting blasted all the time. There is a Star Trek blooper reel posted on YT that I seen today for the first time, it's pretty good if u haven't seen it. Cheers!!

  • this is also the title of a story about the pussies of ellen, rosie o and billy jean king

  • SPOCK was the Sh!!!!!T  (;

  • And did anybody notice Kirk's middle name wasn't Tiberius at 43:35? Wonder what the R stood for...

  • @unassuminglocal Roy. His name was suppose to be James Roy Kirk, but in an early episode, one of the writers unaware of this wrote dialog where his name was given as James T. Kirk. It slipped by the script and continuity checkers, and thus became cannon.

  • KIRK  WINS !!

  • what episode is where Bones came into the show?

  • @GregsCustomFence ....the good doctor's first episode was "The Man Trap"

  • Spock with a smile...

  • @ 43:35 gravestone says "James R Kirk"

    Kirk's middle name is Tiberius.

  • @jffryh

    ah you are right! i guess they changed his name somewhere lol

  • @jffryh ...just one of many changes. This is the "second" pilot. Also note, Sulu is not helmsman.

  • Someone just posted a clip that runs less than 90 seconds, but it may just change the way we deal with U.F.O.'s. Type into search: Captain Claw speaks out...........................­..it's a really cool clip! By the way, i loved tnhe opening without the narration. As a kid watching early syndication, I remember waiting for this one and voicing the Shatner lines out loud.

  • Nothing like really inexpensive special effects to force people to focus on STORY!

    That's why TNG had to re-use so many TOS story lines. So much money, no "unsolicited scripts".

  • Why are they all wearing sweaters? It looks uncomfortable. XD

  • dog gone the people who are responsible for ads

  • What a great episode. This is science fiction, not like most of the other crap on TV. And the production design is awesome. And I love how everything is framed. The first season of Star Trek is simply a work of art, something we haven't seen since.

  • @NoGuff And they did it on what would now be considered pocket change.

  • 34:00 - Spock doesn't feel? I beg to differ.

  • @jeffrags2 ..."doesn't feel"...a typical response all Vulcans give in public.

  • 11:37 blue shirt kind of looks like Oscar from "The Office"

  • Comment removed

  • These adds make it a nightmare to find where u last left off....

  • hate the commercials beforehand that I have to watch

  • Hey, a pink force-field. And the wreckage of a destroyed space ship. Hey I know! Let's fly in and see what happens! To hell with unmanned probes!

  • yeah TOS star trek was equal parts adventure to human/social commentary... or the adventure was a vehicle for the commentary. it was more about the 'frontier' aspect which was unknown and dangerous. the next gen and onward took place in a more established or 'safe' galaxy and focused more directly on the commentary and character drama while often leaving the adventure aspect on the back burner, which was kind of a shame really.

  • ....if this aired in 1966 , (and I think it did) then 2 years later Gary Lockwood starred in ''2001- A Space Odyssey''

  • @midnitemover123 ....you are correct with both date years. The 2nd pilot of Star Trek was first aired in 1966 and in 1968 2001, A Space Odyssey was released in the theaters.

  • lol I saw the title and my first thought was "Britney Spears? Naw.... oh wait.... oops."

  • @golden24680 That road has been well-traveled, my Friend.

  • IF YOU DONT LIKE THE COMMERCIALS THAT PLAY BEFORE THE VIDEO , ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS HIT F5 , THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW, BUT TODAY IS A NEW DAY =) ENJOY ^_^

  • @BRIANGOODSP33D Bullshit

  • @ChrisPenta no its true..

  • @BRIANGOODSP33D well played sir, well played.

  • @PhilintheBlank1 thank you

  • @BRIANGOODSP33D

    That, and Ad Block+ for Firefox takes care of them too.

  • @WestFLinfidel i have ad block and it doesn't work for the ads in the show

  • @BRIANGOODSP33D You're the man.

  • wat happened to the "space the final frontier, these are the...etc"

  • This episode annoys me...

    It's shocking to me how fearful the crew of the enterprise is of Gary even before he shows any desire to cause them harm.

    Even when given the opportunity to leave Gary on the deserted planet Kirk still chose to go out of his way to track down and murder Gary...

    They could have used this as an opportunity to observe the progression of man-kind rather than making an irrational, wasteful decision based on the fear of being replaced and misguided morals.

    Disgusting really.

  • @Dyingdragon9

    You really didn't get the moral of the episode, did you?

  • @Dyingdragon9 - I don't think his powers would have been confined to the planet. I suspect irrational fears could have included anticipation of him controlling any ship in or near orbit or commandeering any landing craft. By that time, his amoral powers would have been increased beyond mutual reason and ordinary controls. I suppose they coulda broadcast a quarantine of the planet's system but that be tempting the curiosity of the dark and corrupt. So, ya, Lord Gary hada done die.

  • I hate cbs for removing Star Trek HD and Enterprise HD from their website. CBS*com SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

  • you gotta love the high-waisted pants of the 60s......

  • his headstones says james r kirk i thought it was james t kirk weird

  • so the thing starts blinking and they emedeatly swich to code red. HAY, STOP OVER-REACTING!!!!!!

    oh and I've seen in real life the modle that they used for the outer-space sences. it's in the air and space museum in DC

  • @sightsboy OH wheres the fun in being realistic STAR TREK IS 60s camp....justlike batman because somedays we you cant deal with a bomb you GO CODE RED

  • Spock is more emotional than any woman I have ever known... And he has no problem being quite sarcastic and rude when talking to Sally Kellerman. I like it.

  • Where's good old sawbones when you need him? He would have been fantastic in this episode!

    "You're dead, Jim!"

  • MAJOR MISTAKE at 46:42... The Tombstone reads: James "R" Kirk... lol I've been a fan since this showed aired in 1968. I've never heard anyone bring this up before.  Did they rename him James "Tiberius" Kirk after the show started running???????? I wonder what "Prop" dept. that tombstone is in.... its probably worth a small fortune to the right wacko...LOL, LOL, LOL

  • im glad they did away from the turtle necks. makes it look like outer-space scooby-doo!

  • fuckin adverts are too loud

  • This episode had a different style from most star trek episodes. They should have done more like this.

  • FUCK YOU COUNTRY CROCK COCK! Thumbs up if you agree

  • Why are the commercials super loud?...Holy crapola

  • Is this Kirk's first episode by the way? =D

  • @MsTwinkle101 yes

  • I'm so glad they later tapered down Spock's eyebrows.

  • @CylindricalWhistle I am as well

  • On the Next Anniversary the Internal Corridors of the Legendary Enterprise should be opened up with CGI to give it the appearance of Greater Internal Volume.similar to how sets were expanded in Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith .The Internal; walls of the Hangar Deck should be seen in detail. The Galileo Shuttlecraft Exterior ( Cool ) should be Tweaked with Maneuvering thrusters,shield grids,Phasers, Lighted Engine Nacelles.The Overall Exterior of the Ship should be tweaked for the 5 Year Misn.

  • he has the force! DX

  • Dude! He looked just like the Emperor from Star Wars when he was shocking Kirk and Spock! ZOMG, it's the crew of Star Trek versus a Sith!!

  • no downloading ~ I feel cheatd :-(

  • Those costume...so...ugly....Whyyyyy­yyyyy!??

    Even though Spock looks odd in this episode, he's still so darn handsome.

  • Anyone else think that that was one good fakeout? (trying to avoid spoilers) just deepen it a bit a foot or 2 and you'd be fine. And, he didn't even check her, could easily pretend to die (or using her power actually die for a few seconds)

  • Omg at 3:39 Gary looks likes Karl Urban! How crazy is that. Does anyone else see it?

  • If the effect changed people with a High ESPer rating, why didn't it change Spock? He's a telepath.

  • hahaha such a good TV Show...such terrible fight scenes xDD

  • A good Trekkie will notice the tombstone at 43:35 reads: JAMES R KIRK. Of course we all know his middle initial is T. (Tiberius.) But notice the name is in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Why? Because it’s a dead entity. A fiction. Now look at your driver’s license, your Social Security Card, your phone bill. Notice anything peculiar? Google ‘strawman, redemption, recourse, remedy”. There you’ll find your answers.

  • 33:40 ftw.

  • YEEAAAAHHHH! AMERICA BEAT THE ALGERIANS!!! WE ADVANCING TO ROUND 2!!! BYAAAAAAHHHH

  • @HeresyProductions Simmer down, I can guarantee right now you will not win the world cup.

  • 22:17. Star Ships have points? Must have been before the started using electronic ignitions systems...

  • Weird to see Spock practically freaking out at 9:48 and 10:27. I'm glad Nimoy got the kinks worked out of the character pretty quickly in later shows.

  • This was the SECOND pilot, the first being "The Menagerie" with Captain Christopher Pike.

  • Kirk's gravestone says ""James R Kirk"

  • "Did Mr. Spock get the phaser rifle we sent down?"

    "What? I didn't order any"- WTF that's a big gun Spock- "afirmative landing party out"

    rofl :)

  • what happened to the ship and why wasn't DeForest Kelley's name mentioned in the opening?

  • @eaglesgogirl  Kelley's name is not put in after awhile because he wasn't considered a main character at this time.

  • @bcdizzle012  ohh isee

  • I love the blond chick who just stands around looking like Kirk or Mitchell's ornament, she has absolutely nothing to do at all, just stand around and look pretty for the camera. I guess Gary Lockwood was Mr. Sci-Fi in the last 60's first the Star Trek pilot and then 2001: A Space Odyssey.

  • Mitchell used the force lol

  • Does anyone notice that the women were dressed the same as the men at first; turtle necks and black pants? I guess Gene Rodenberry realized his ere, and introduced mini-dresses, black stockings, and thigh high boots. All necessary for women in outer space.

  • @duran66 yes, but what happened to the blue,yellow and red uniforms?

  • Comment removed

  • @eaglesgogirl Those were added later to reflect position or rank.

  • @duran66 Just to let you know, it wasn't the men like Gene Roddenberry, who decided that women should wear mini-skirts, it was the women. Specifically, Grace Lee Whitney, who had great legs from being a dancer and wanted to show them off.

  • @skaught1966 Ahh interesting, but not very logical. LOL

  • @duran66 you mean NBC realized his err. they couldn't tolerate that Star Trek wasn't rating well and Nichelle Nichols was in the bridge crew.

  • @duran66 "...mini-dresses, black stockings, and thigh high boots. All necessary for women in outer space."

    As well as space bikinis.

  • @duran66 Or he had a very limited budget. Easier to make 25 of the same clothes instead of many different types.

  • @duran66

    Actually, I think the story was that someone told him that - if they were dressed the way they were - the women would lose their femininity. Thus, miniskirts.

  • @duran66 I understand that the network wanted him to do this. They also wanted him to lose the Spock character. Fortunately he only conceded on one of these demands.

  • @duran66 Roddenberry wanted the women to be more equal with the men (e.g., #1 --- the first officer -- in the series pilot) but the network brass probably asked him to sex things up....

  • @duran66

    All necessary regardless of being in outer space or in my space... :)

  • Why was the blond holding Gary's hand? Such behavior would not be tolerated in the Navy on a ships bridge.

  • @rkoliver1 Because she's a blond???? LOL I agree with you.

  • I hate to nitpick, but the opening monologue/mission statement is misleading. Oh, there was some..."to seek out new life and new civilizations"...but there was also much mundane tramp-steamer work - schlepping VIP's around, paying courtesy calls, mediating interplanetary spats, safeguarding valuable cargo. None of it detracted from the show - I watched every episode 10x - but "exploring strange new worlds" is a bit of a stretch.

  • The Original Enterprise Studio Model is the " Spirit of St. Louis of Outer Space." I first saw it in person in April 1982. Seeing the ' Actual Physical Entity " : ) That took me and the rest of us into Deep Space on television and in one movie ,in character, was a humbling experience. i still have the Pictures. At the Hotel that night in DC at 8pm that night, the episode with Miramanee was on. I was glued to the TV. I went back the next day and studied the Orig. NCC-1701. I was in Awe.

  • this episode and charlie x... always with the crazy eyes. i guess that was scary back then.

  • 36:34 i shit my pants..a little

  • I noticed the personel card for ther charator played by Sally Kellerman is supposed to be 5-2, wiegh 116 pounds and be 21 years old. I wonder if another actress was originally supposed to have the part? It was handy that an uninhabited ore station, fully automated and which receives a visit just once every 20 years, has a brig where Mitchell could be secured, at least briefly.

  • @kristov29 A Psycharist at age 21?  What an over-achiever!!!

  • those "catharian apples" look suspiciously like papayas.

  • google Doe's Account.

  • This episode was the third broadcast for the season in 1966, yet it seems to have regressed in costume and set compared to the first two (mainly with Spock). I wonder why they didn't show this episonde first, to show the progression of the characters, both in personality and appearance? It was obviously filmed prior to the others, considering that Spock's later appearance is the one the creators chose to keep throughout the remainder of the series.

  • @babeofelvis The network didn't think this episode was "spacey" enough to hook viewers as a first episode, so they chose to air "The Man Trap" first because it had a scary monster in it. Seriously.

  • @jsharp1701 LOL. It was scary all right!! 

  • Comment removed

  • @markos824 I wouldn't complain about the advertisements. Unless you want to start convincing CBS that they don't want money, the ads make it so that they can put them up here and not charge us anything other than time taken to see them and keep Youtube free

  • fuck these advertisements

  • Comment removed

  • collar clips ~ cheap skate producers ~ b3st3rds ~ scum bags ~

  • if Garry is gaining power doubling it every day,what good would it do to maroon him on a planet? In time he would be able to leave there just by willing to.

  • The fight at the end was FAR more realistic than any of the choreographed show-fights you see these days.

  • The film and color quality was superb.considering the time period.

  • Definitely one of the greatest sci-fi series of all time. I'm sorry but all the subsequent series seem like re-writes and updates of the originals. Andromeda played out like a test run for what Star Trek was to become though I must admit, don't know what was written first. Or maybe the series Andromeda was Marjel Barrett-Roddenbury (sorry if I got her name wrong; the one who played Nurse Chapel) cashing in on her late husband's unfinished work.

  • Gary ( actor) was great for this episode . Great acting for back in the day

  • Spock was loud in this one

  • Tombstone at 46:43 says: James "R" Kirk?

  • @topper4125 This was actually the series pilot with this crew. Not everything had been worked out at that point. That's why the uniforms and ship is also different as they were just using a lot of the same stuff from the first pilot that they eventually used as the 2 part episode.

  • The advertisements have gotten longer!

  • LOL 9:44 good Lord, you would think fire extinguishers would be standard equip on the bridge ;)

  • the old star treks are cool !

  • What's with the change from episodes 1 and 2 (being more like later episodes), then changing to episode 3 where things were much different?

  • I always thought Gary Mitchell should have returned as a villan in one of the latter Trek series.

  • It would be awesome of Abrams recreated the Kirk/Mitchell fight.

  • @erentheca No! Abrams needs to get away from the Star Trek series!

  • @jawharp1992 Unfortunately it was on life support when he showed up. He may have no respect for canon, but money is what keeps the wheels on the Trek bus rolling, and the man has a talent for attracting money.

  • If Gary Mitchell is not in one of the next 2 trek prequels, I will be very surprised.

  • iguess someone was paid well to add commercials for about every video, not nice.......................

  • This second premier episode is almost identical to start trek the motion picture. Which makes me think it was watched little and or forgotten but yeah there not in order and this was the second one after the first episode and they had to change the original format twice. After the recast.

  • @websuspect. No it's not. If any episode is like The Motion Picture it is "The Changeling". They are both about a machine looking for its creator.

  • 0:52 xDD Spock looks so adorable there...

  • I just fucking love this show! but y only 3 seasons of the original?

  • The increased volume of the commercial breaks is ridiculous. I wish terrible things upon whoever decided for it to be that way. It only made me really angry when the commercials played...I can't imagine how they thought that might enhance the advertisement.

  • All Vulcans had emotions, most just chose to control them.

    Spock as half human, used to over compensate for his humanity, until later in the movies, where he came to terms with his humanity.

    Vulcans have emotions, they even feel them, it is just culturally embarassing and offensive to obviously outwordly show them...and to others species it appears as if they don't have them, but to other Vulcans even their slight emotional ques are obvious.

  • @Mortaryan they arent even real..

  • @Dfloops Ummm...yeah...and your point? There is still a mythos and ethos of the fictional species, as well as a history of that species, albeit fictional.

  • @Mortaryan cool man.. nice life

  • @Mortaryan lol.Like Elcor. Except,you know.Without the smelly emotion part....

  • Wow. In this one, the young Nimoy Spock kinds looks like Zachary Quinto. Maybe those eyebrows and smoother skin. Mmmmm, smoooooth Vulcan skin...

  • "There's...something on the wing!! Some......thing!!"

  • @shippuden1 You actually watch that crap?

  • @Orlor. Actualy Stargate SG1 season 1-5 was good and Stargate Antlantis was fun. But nothing beats the original Star Trek.

  • @Orlor PS. Stargate Univers sucks. They killed Stargate! Must be the thing to do now days. Take a good show and strip it of everything that made it a hit in the first place.
